Much better than the last one

SurfingTurf (July 30, 2012)

I hope this isn't the one good song on the album.

punkrockanarchy (July 30, 2012)

This is exciting. Green Day good again? Fuck yeah!

Rue (July 30, 2012)

I like it. Feels old school. Turn it up loud. It sounds like 1995. Good shit.

Hi Jue.

chadreligion (July 30, 2012)

Why does Tre look like he's still on tour for American Idiot?

Rue (July 30, 2012)

Pretty sure this is punk rock. Who gives a shit what Tre looks like?

Hi Jue.

rightcliqificus (July 30, 2012)

"Pretty sure this is punk rock."

Pretty sure you have no idea what punk rock is if you're saying something like that.

Rue (July 30, 2012)

I know nothing about punk rock. You're right. Thank you for pointing this out. Next time I'm at a Rancid, H20, Dropkicks, or Bouning Souls show I will member you, smile, then eat a pretzil. They're tasty.

Rue (July 30, 2012)

*Bouncing

Cormstorm (July 30, 2012)

Hi Jue.

Ravnos (July 30, 2012)

So punx.

waffleIron (August 3, 2012)

Lol you pulled out the worst bands to make your point.

Dante3000 (rich) (July 30, 2012)

Am I the only one who heard this and kept expecting "Don't wanna be an American idiot!"?

chadreligion (July 30, 2012)

maybe mixed with the closing part of Jesus of suburbia???

colin (July 30, 2012)

yeah i heard the same thing when it started.

sailin_on (July 30, 2012)

I may or may not be creaming my pants.

sirsambo (July 30, 2012)

Alright... I can fuck with this. About damn time Green Day.

swank (July 30, 2012)

This is more like it!

wentz_equals_death (July 30, 2012)

uh, it's not that good

Dante3000 (rich) (July 30, 2012)

They have successfully set the bar so low that all they need to do is not shit their pants and long time Green Day fans are amazed/stoked at how good it is.

mike_killroad (July 30, 2012)

It's good, but it doesn't bite. I would be okay with a full album of these songs than that "Oh Love" shit they put out.

scarletvh (July 30, 2012)

I'm stoked.

colin (July 30, 2012)

whoa, pretty surprising in how rad that was.

lovethatjoker (July 30, 2012)

This is obviously ten times better than their new single. It's still not great, in fact if this was on Nimrod it'd be a filler song. However, the very fact that this COULD be on Nimrod means they're on the right track with at least a few of these new songs. It's also better than anything on their last turd of an album (except maybe Murder City, the ONLY song on 21CB for which I have a soft spot).

flydebs (July 30, 2012)

Love it.

Shithawk (July 30, 2012)

Tre spent that entire video looking like he was trying to figure out what the hell he was doing there.

wentz_equals_death (July 30, 2012)

jason white kinda looks like floyd

Skibz777 (July 30, 2012)

I don't like it, and I'm the fool who's still optimistic about Green Day in the 21st century. I like GD exploring different rock textures and was excited by the prospect of a "power-pop" album, but both musically and lyrically this feels too derivative of their '90s material almost to the point where you can hear Billie Joe saying "let's write a song that sounds like our old stuff so people think we don't suck anymore". It's better than the last single, granted, but it's not anywhere near as immediate as the songs off the albums they're trying to emulate here. However, comparing this to the last single, I'm at least holding out hope that the record will be an eclectic mix of styles and that the sum will be greater than its parts.

jizzo (July 31, 2012)

Hey buddy I don't post on here much, but I always enjoy reading what you put up. One thing though, try to refrain from using the word "eclectic" for some reason the person that uses that word always seems like they would be a douchebag? just say various styles next time..

Skibz777 (July 31, 2012)

Well, that's kind of what "eclectic" means...looking at the previous single, which was a mid-tempo alt-rock ballad, to this one, which is an uptempo punk-pop tune, I'm hoping the first album will have relatively diverse textures, or at least diverse within the spectrum of rock/punk.

stivy (July 30, 2012)

AP rulz!

martinNZ09 (July 30, 2012)

Better than expected

superdookie (July 30, 2012)

There are parts in it that reminded me of Weasel (a la the Four on the Four EP). First time I've ever felt that way about a GD song.

Maybe not their best ever song, but it's probably in at least the 75th percentile. First thing since probably Insomniac that has given me an urge to go dance.

DesertBurst92 (July 30, 2012)

they tried way too hard with the lyrics

greasedfat (July 30, 2012)

At least they're always consistent with their haircuts.

porksoda (July 31, 2012)

I'm more than happy with this.

donovanjames (July 31, 2012)

Good god, that was fucking awesome. #stoked.

solidjim (August 1, 2012)

Pretty badass. Their deal with the Devil is still going strong. Stoked for new tunes.

heretic (August 1, 2012)

This is pretty good. Almost punk.
